Ok....as with all things, its a personal account and not everything should be taken as though Tom Walkingshaw and Ron Dennis wrote it...BUT....this guy has a most incredible wealth of data and info.

Its a LOT to take in....but his HOMEWORK PAGE is good....really good.

As are the results on the Rolling Road....he's methodical and well planned.

I like this a LOT...hope you do to....explore the pages

Nice find Zak - I like this section (have only had a chance on a skim read) even covers runner lengths !http://www.tomstickland.co.uk/astra/homework/hwork.htm

@ the stripped out interior. It's cool what he's done, and I suppose as a learning experience you can't beat getting your hands dirty, but for the money he's spent he could probably have got a nice Lotus Esprit or something. Still, I guess that wasn't the point.

Think how much all those rolling road runs must have cost.

Rich :¬)

Well, I would have thought he could have started off with a car that handled, so he didn't just end up in a ditch as soon as he planted his right foot.

Astra Mk2s really do have a terrible chassis. Engines are ok though, for an 8V

my mk2 seemed to go okay, which did you have?
